I think it's a little weird to talk about your boobs and peirods to some one you don't even no then have them put it in the J-14 magazine! But i do love the colum, so please keep it cuz there is probs girls that could use that advice!

yes. It's good 2 talk about what u feel 2 uncofortable 2 talk a bout any where else.

babydoll111 on December 19, 2009 1:32 AM

I totally think we should keep it, it's a great way for teen girls to talk about things like tht!:)

I love this column I think you should keep it it's great. :-)

MissCutie1998 on December 21, 2009 3:35 PM

it not good talking about boobs and perioud on a magzine next thing you know their ganna be talking about SEX!!!

MissCutie1998 on December 21, 2009 3:37 PM

NOT A GOOD IDEAL NEXT THING YOU KNOW THERE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT SEX

cassie.deluna on December 21, 2009 3:55 PM

Ya keep it up cuz people might not feel comfortable talking about it to someone face to face.

i agree with miss cutie

I think it is a good idea, but be careful what you put in there

crazyctina4 on December 21, 2009 9:51 PM

I love it!

I love hearing advice! Beauty advice would be cool too.

hellokitty21 on December 23, 2009 2:55 AM

hey i think j14 should keep this coulum cuz it heps u threw stuff for unger people and older people who havent developed as much as other people

is tht blake lively or holary duff????????....and pen from gossip girl?? im so confused!

I think it's a good idea for young girls to be able to find out about their bodies, because some of them find it hard to ask those questions to anyone! I think you should have a question/answer column as well, about ANYTHING, not just the body. I'd love to help write it, I'm a communications major in college and I'm thinking about concentrating on Journalism. Either way, a question/answer would be a great addition to your magazine!

I wanna type questions and ask questions but i'm to scared people will laugh at me, so maybe u shoulden't put ur name in the magazine. just saying.

I loved this column! Yeah, it is a little akward but it gives people a chance to know stuff! It's really good for teens to know that this happens to everyone!

OK! OK!! I ADMIT!! I'M 10 AND MY BOOBS ARE BIGGER THAN MY SISTERS!!! :O

sillygirl09422 on December 26, 2009 9:53 PM

well ppl go to twitter and tweet about it there click on this
www.myspace.com/lilmisssunshine to c my profile

It's okay, but I didn't like it that much,
but i have a question about the Poll in the January Issue. I think it's weird.

Well sometimes we have to talk about periods and stuff, cuz its something u need 2 know! i like it.
kepp the column.

mrs.taylorlautner12345 on December 27, 2009 7:15 PM

i think you should keep it!! i think it is good for girls to get their questions answered and get good advice on stuff like that.

I think you should keep it cause sometimes girls need to know things without having talk to someone face to face because you would feel uncontferbal and this way you can get the answer with out feeling that way

redcarpetglitz12 on December 28, 2009 3:11 PM

yes! its awesome. girlz need to no about breasts developing and periods. its a good edition.

I really do like it plz keep it. It helps girls and it takes a break from gossip and stuff. I think it can help girls.

i thinks it great and that you should keep it. it helped me with questions i was too embaressed to ask my mom or anyone else. KEEP IT!!!!!!!!!!11

xoxoshexibbygrl on December 30, 2009 8:32 PM

samy123lilly on December 31, 2009 6:20 PM

I think whoever had this idea is a JENIOUS. There were some questions in there that i had been wondering about. this colume helped me and probably maney more girls. This is a great colume that i think you should keep doing. Wenever more people hear about it , more people will write in and more people will buy your magazine. Its good for you and good for girls who have guestions. It helps solve problems too.

mizz-purple-eyeliner on December 31, 2009 7:17 PM

I think It's a great idea tath girls are geting tips from people that know about this stuff, beacus there are girls out there ho are wondering and need tips.This page has plenty of information ; wath to do ? how to do it? When to do it ? And There are stuff that you need to know when your starting to ask yourself " wath to do "...
So i think that you should continue giving tips to girls ho are in need of consultation.

Angelchloebratz11 on December 31, 2009 8:12 PM

i am an advice giver to even know im a teen my FRIENDS ask ME 4 ADVICE, and this colume helped me and maney more girls also i think you shouldn't hold in ur probs cuz then if u do u will most likely be come a drug addict wich IS VERY VERY VERY BAD! HELLO KEEP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! J14 IS #1 BRATZ MAGAZINE ROX 2 ;D

i_heart_boys on January 1, 2010 12:40 AM

I think this column will be great mostly because you can get your feelings out and get answers to questions you might not want to approch parents on. I can't wait to read the column!!!

Kaydance86 on January 2, 2010 2:37 PM

I think it was good to put a column about stuff like this because it shows its a TEEN magazine and not some 2nd grade magazine about "baby" stuff . It's good that girls can ask questions about things there embarssed to talk about .
:-)

i loved it so plz keep doing it.it toutched me 2 know that other girls r going through the same things that i am.:)

danyeltwilighter_1 on January 2, 2010 6:27 PM

Truthfully, it is strange for girls to talk to complete strangers about stuff like this, but it does feel better to talk to someone in this way. It's just to hard talking face-to-face about this. It also made me feel better about myself to realize that I'm not alone. Please keep it, it helps so many girls with the problems they're too scared to ask themselves!

danyeltwilighter_1 on January 2, 2010 6:29 PM

and col, its none of the above! its olivia from GG, and her bf dan. she really does look like hilary duff.

eexxiitt10 on January 2, 2010 7:07 PM

I would definitely like for you to keep this column!! The boy trouble column really helped me just like alot of your other helpful columns!!

firepick123 on January 2, 2010 9:30 PM

you should totally keep this!

no i do not think you need to keep this idk why but when i read this magazine i flipped right past this lol

keep it plz!!!!! it would be weird saying stuff like that to someones face but if you have a question about boobs or periods or something you can just read it instead of telling someone.

twilightmoon on January 3, 2010 4:39 PM

i love the column its good that girls can talk about this and get answers to their questions from the ones who have experienced the same things! its good for the readers too so they might have the same problem and they can read that question and get the answer as well!

naturalblonde on January 3, 2010 11:18 PM

ok i really really loved this column!! i find it really helps cause i cant talk to any one else about this stuff and it reminds me that all the stuff im going through, there are lots of other girls going through the same stuff. and who ever misscutie1998 is...grow up.

cisneka643 on January 4, 2010 2:34 AM

I loved it so much it really helped me with my guy troubles I think yall should totally continue it!

thepeacelover100 on January 6, 2010 8:33 PM

I have a problem about like about boys.I just dated a boy named Justin and i asked him if he liked another girl but he said no.Then i asked him like 3 more times.And he broke up with me,And dated the other girl!!!!!! And they're still dating.But he picks on me.And i have just told on him.He is always being mean.And sometimes he makes people laugh then look at me,What does that mean?? does he still like me?? or is it like every other boy,That hates your guts.Please help!!!!!!

countrygirlnitemare on January 7, 2010 11:27 AM

I think u should keep it......Like it helped me 2 decide what 2 do about my abusive boyfriend.......i could not go 2 my family or my friends bcus seriously my dad would have killed him.......and i couldnt tell my cousin whom i talk 2 about everything, bcus it was his best freind.......and my guy friend would have probably killed him also........So Thank u J14 :)

jillbeiber on January 7, 2010 9:24 PM

honestly, i dont really care bout it, although i skip half the magazine till i see justin beiber, =] then ill read about taylor swift, then hang the posters on my wall! then sell the magazine to my older sis. =]

Drama Queen 544 on January 7, 2010 9:32 PM

OMG i kno this is a advice colum but... ITS ABOUT BOOBS AND .S!!!!!!! SOON THEY WILL TALK ABOUT SEX!!!!!!!!!!! THEY SHOULD NOT KEEP IT!

xoxokelly101 on January 7, 2010 11:55 PM

I like this section! My favorite parts of the magazine are the polls, advice, clothes, and posters for my room! (:

xoxokelly101 on January 7, 2010 11:56 PM

I also like the embaressing stories section too.

lovebledx123 on January 8, 2010 2:06 PM

yea its a little funni and that could happen 2 any one

lovebledx123 on January 8, 2010 2:06 PM

123456 NATASHA on January 8, 2010 2:45 PM

HAY WHATS UP I GET THE MAGAZINE. I IS GOOD

i luv the column, but how can i ask questions tho??

WOW. that girl says the same stuff as my mom does. well anyway i think it would be embarassing if it got in the mag then ur friends see it and talk to u about it. what if ur enemie sees it?

i luv the column! keep it. great way for teens to discuss stuff...

can i ask nancy something? if so how????

just break up

Dancegurl4evr024 on January 9, 2010 9:19 PM

you have to email it to tips@j-14.com to ask nancy something.

alikinzz14 on January 10, 2010 5:24 PM

Speaking my mind freely, i think that talking about boobs, periods, boy trouble, etc. is kind of a good idea. It gives girls advice & help so when you expirience it you won't seem scared or paniced. Well I love this collomn.

dee.jb.♥ on January 10, 2010 7:42 PM

so ive like this boy for about two tree months now and my friend ask him if he liked me and he said no which is wierd because in science/math class we are always looking at each other and smileing alot a long period of time.So ive been trying to get him to say he does but what ive got so far is a "maybe, i dont know".And in until i get a yes then we can maybe get together.So my question is how can i make him say the truth???

THfurImmer on January 10, 2010 8:57 PM

it is strange telling somebody this stuff and you don't know them, and have it in a J-14, but that's what usernames are for, people don't know who it really is. i like this because it let's you know your not alone. keep it.

georgiahottie on January 12, 2010 10:43 AM

should i ask my best guy bud to the valintines day dance??? i know he likes me, but i son'e want to ruin our relationship as friends???

I really like the new colum! I think that I can learn from the other girls stories! And maby get one of my own answerd!

avril.and.tay.swift.fan on January 16, 2010 7:25 PM

i really love it! i especially like how the questions are questions that many girls have and that other girls didn't realize they had until they read this! PLEASE CONTINUE IT!!!!

ya, i LOVE it so much!!! Some of the questions that r in there i have 2 but i never relized it. So please keep that coloum in cuz i LOVE it sooooooooo much!!! PLEASE PLEASE

dancinblondy82 on January 17, 2010 10:53 PM

I love it!!! i feel its what makes this mag my fave out of all of them! :) i think they should do bra + bra sizes in the next issue

elizabethhh on January 19, 2010 3:17 PM

Keep!

Definatelyy(:

ilovebamboo on January 20, 2010 9:46 PM

Keep it! It's great!

parodyofasmile on January 21, 2010 9:58 PM

Definitely a great idea!
You wouldn't believe how many girls really don't know this stuff about their body that they should.

parodyofasmile on January 21, 2010 10:07 PM

One more thing...why are people freaking out about the idea of talking about sex? Sex is something that you SHOULD be able to talk about openly!
A lot of teen pregnancies happen because the teens involved weren't educated properly about protection and pregnancy and stuff. Sex isn't something that should be shameful to discuss.

princesskp1524 on January 23, 2010 5:53 PM

i think you should keep this article because it gives me tips about different problems especially about "boys" and im sure it gives other girls tips for real life problems

Musiclover411 on January 25, 2010 5:08 PM

I think you should put in a question like this,"What if I wanna get back together with my ex?"
In november my crush Sam asked me out.We slow danced at the dance that friday night!I was on top of the world untill he broke up with six days later.I was crushed and I told myself I hated him.Then in December he asked my friedn Ashlee out.She was so excited because she had liked him for a long time.I siad it didn't bug me and that I was happy for her.Then they slow danced at the dance.I was so sad I ran to the bathroom and sobbed!Ashlee came in later and I told I still really liked Sam.She said that it was fine.Then in January Sam din't come to the dance him and Ashlee planned to kiss at.Ashlee was so mad, she broke up with him on Monday.I didn't tell anyone but I was thrilled!But the next day Ashlee came up to Sam and told him she wanted him back.But he told her that he was over her and didn't like her anymore.It's been two weeks and hes really been flirting with me.Ashlee always jokes about how he is still so in love with me but I don't know.Should I take him back?Or dhould I let him go because of our bad breakup?HELP!!!

Musiclover411 on January 25, 2010 5:10 PM

I really wanna get back with my ex,Sam, what should I do?

I love a boy in my class but i donno if he loves me but i donno how i could tell him or even if i should tell him

hannahstrohmaier12 on February 14, 2010 3:45 PM

I seriously think this column should stay! I like it how you talk about boy troubles and other problems.

cuppycakeyumyum on February 14, 2010 11:13 PM

Well im actually pretty skinny, and attractive, it gets really annoying cuase all these guys always flirt and touch you innapropriatly... Its funny the first time but it actually is uncomfortbal. They make dirty jokes, and i just want to stay Buds with them but Usually i can't maintain a normal friendship with these "Filthy Boys" i even got a kid charged for sexual harssment all becuase he touched me too much and got out of hand! what should i do ?

love the column...am thinking bout writing soon

singer@heart on February 18, 2010 7:21 PM

i think it is good for girls who need this kind of advice;]

singer@heart on February 18, 2010 7:25 PM

nmhjhhkhjhjhkhjkhghjhjhjhjhjh im really bored right now

I like the column but there is WAYYY too many TMI moments

i think is ok but BEWARE! dont start taking of things like sex othat tipee, eh'?' ajjaja

justinbieberlover52099 on February 27, 2010 12:00 AM

I luv the idea.The girls who are to scared to ask there moms about that stuff can ask j 14.Yall should totally keep it.This column could help tons of scared girls understand what there mom and friends have been tellin them about.

I think you should because some girls need advice from other people besides friends and there parents. They also probably want people to read there column so they can get information off of it incase they are too scared to ask so they would get there ansewr of off the question u asked

All of us are going to have to deal with the fact they're talking about this stuff, it's gonna happen. . .

I think the column is a great idea. Even if you did not write to the column, you can still get great advice!
